I am experiencing this odd sense of loss lately.
I have this feeling now and again; it is a little different every time.
I play with it for a while and relearn the feeling in my hands. It's malleable and hard... and I can breathe it. Bathe in it and soak it through my skin.
Now it's dry...
A BROUHAHA grabs a can of beer and sits on a log. "So, as they say, the best things in life are the 70s music" Wab says. Agnetha grabs a magazine and reads it. "Brilliant. But the best pop comes from the early 80s" Aurora replies. "Most definatly" Wab says. "As they all say, the best thing...
Just thought I would start something New- a BLOG diary-
It may prove useful to perhaps motivate me to complete it daily.(or as frequently life allows)------I have tried keeping Diaries in the past-I usually don't keep them going. Anyway the thought of Diaries makes me a bit angry/depressed and...
I won't quote the post that spurred this entry--or the approving(!) follow-up, but I have to say: we aspies can easily earn a reputation for cruelty, smallness, or indifference all too easily. Having a social deficit is no excuse for mocking other disabilities; the first is a given, but the...
Over the years I have been asked a similar line of questions a good number of times, things like how were things over there, did you do anything you regret, did anything bad happen etc. Most would consider this a strange line of questions, but for a Soldier coming back from Afghanistan this was...
Previously: if a person is a person through other people, what happens when a person is substantially different from other people? How different can you be, and still be human? What is it I see that determines whether I greet you, flee you, or kill you?
EDIT: Related to The Social Model and...
A break from my usual scope, prompted by a question from a friend.
Liturgy B. Woodblock print. Matsubara Naoko, 1995.
Ubuntu/Hunhu philosophy, distilled to its essence by Michael Onyebuchi Eze: "A person is a person through other people." The term ‘ ubuntu' is from south African languages...
This post has nothing to do with Ren & Stimpy...
I have come to terms with how odd I can be, I like my disorganization, my collections of random stuff that I've been obssesed with over the years, I can deal with my lack of interest in society, the trouble I have with focusing in school. Joining...
Three cups of hot tea/

If you know patience/

Sometimes, just sometimes, I wonder if I should date. Just becouse sometimes I feel that giving your best to the other person and trying to be a team must be fun.
And yeah its easyer too, becouse you have someone that is there anitime to hear you... but then this comes to my mind.
You have God...
As I opened a new Firefox tab and navigated to OkCupid, it occurred to me that the time and effort I put into this website is disproportionate...to? with? the return I get on that investment. I have looked through my matches on enough reasonably-spaced occasions to know that the few who are...

Today was a wierd day to me. I mostly go to my congragation and do my stuff there be with allmost the same people. And they have this friendly way of acting towards you. They try to welcome...
I'm starting a story to share with you guys.. I like to write, but what about? any suggestions?, please comment your ideas! :):grinning:
I wish more people would look past Harley Quinn's persona to realize how good of a character she actually is.
You know, she was just created to pop out of the cake in the episode Joker's Favor of Batman:TAS but she ended up developing enough to get her own backstory and remain as a permanent...
I wasn't sure if posting this anywhere in the forums was appropriate so I'm just going to make a blog post
"Non-Binary Genders are gender identities that don't fit within the accepted binary of male and female. People can feel they are both, neither, or some mixture thereof. It might be easier...
The way you could fix this would be to ask, "Do you believe in any sort of God(s) or Goddess(es)?" It's still more confusing to the monotheistic mind, but that mind can still understand this sentence. Anyone who isn't monotheistic would have zero trouble, as would atheistic or agnostic...

You know. "It". That thing. The abstract idea. The Full Set.
The ability to be understanding and social just like all the rest.
"It"
The thing that makes you able to have friends. And the ability to make them.
The abilty to think beyond laterally.
It.
****ing hell.

This is something that has been making me mad for awhile.I cant believe the people in government these days. They are slowly cutting and shredding the constitution,taking our right to privacy,self defense,and lives away. Its not right. I think if it keeps going down like this,i'm gonna move to...
